Employee Volunteer Program

The mission of the Employee Volunteer Program (EVP) is to motivate, empower and enable the employees of NKS, and their families, to effectively serve community needs through the leadership of NKS. EVP will leverage employee skills and interests, and company assets to make a difference in underserved communities in both Chicago and Nashville. In doing so we hope to address the underlying racial and economic disparities that face Black and Brown communities throughout these cities, and the country at large.

SkyART’s mission is to provide arts-based programming for children on the southside of Chicago. Their programming takes the form of visual art classes, gardening, meal planning, and much more in their studio on East 91st Street. SkyART uses free visual arts programming as a vehicle for young people to create, to communicate effectively, and to learn the essential skills and creative thinking needed to succeed.

NKS hosted a volunteer day at SkyART where NKS employees helped to give the SkyART facility a fresh coat of paint and harvest their garden.
